List of some known bugs
-------------------------
This following list contains those bugs which we are aware of. Please
make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one
of these bugs/limitations we will certainly be glad to receive a patch.

10 lines; but it may help anyway to show us where we have to fix it. Do
an "info standards" to find out why a disclaimer is needed for GNU.)

[ *] #1
pgp263in works fine even with a source file with CR,LF but GnuPG
and pgp263in has problems if the clearsign has been created by
pgp263ia.
[ *] #3
--list-packets should continue even w/o a passphrase (or in batch
mode). Maybe we have to move it to a separate program??
[ *] #4 1999-01-13 <ralf.stephan@fitug.de> 0.9.1
v3 key 'expiration date' problem:
1. generate a key, set expiration date
2. <do other things, deleting etc.>
3. edit a v3 secret key, try to set expiration date
- output: "You can't change...
4. save
5. key has expiration date from 1. and gpg reports that pubkey
and seckey differ.
The for loop the exp.date is set before v3 detection?
[is this bug still there?]
[ *] #5
/home/jam/.gnupg/pubring.gpg: can't open gdbm file: Can't be writer
keyblock resource `/home/jam/.gnupg/pubring.gpg': file open error
OOPS in close enum_keyblocks - ignored
[gdbm is experimental and will be replaced by the new keybox code]
[***] #6 1999-02-22 <backes@rhrk.uni-kl.de> 0.9.3
Buserror on IRIX 6.4: Crash while doing a keygen. I think while creating
the prime. Other buserrors are reported when doing a "gpg README"
on sparc-solaris2.6.
--> I hope I've fixed this: Please, can someone it. I can't reproduce it
on the alpha I have access to.
[ **] #7 1999-02-22 <dwpalmer@dwpalm.jf.intel.com> 0.9.3
Conventional encrytion incompatibilty:
$ gpg -c --cipher-algo cast5 --compress-algo 1 --no-comment secrets.txt
Creates a file that gpg can decrypt, but PGP 5.5 has problems with it.
PGP decrypts 6416k out of 6424k, then complains with "PGP Warning",
"The keyring contains a bad (corrupted) PGP packet". The resulting
file is missing information from the front.
